Apple’s iPad mini “Special Event”: The Good, the Bad, and the Meh

As with all big Apple events, I once again find people turning to me for my opinion on the announcements from Apple’s iPad mini “Special Event”. Honestly I can’t blame them, as my opinion is often the only correct one when it comes to such things. I seem to have the uncanny ability to cut through the hype with laser beam-like precision, and somehow categorize... Read More

Survey: 39% of men would be willing to lose an inch of penis size for the iPhone 5

Now this is my kind of survey! (Apologies in advance for my gratuitous discussion of penises later on in this article). According to the results of a survey of 2,011 American males, ages 18-30, conducted by CouponCodes4u.com, the desire to own the not-yet-announced iPhone 5 is so high that many men are willing to go through extreme lengths to get one, including SHORTENING the length... Read More

S#!T Apple Fanatics Say

Meh. I’ve only said maybe 70-85 of these, tops. Pt1 PT2 Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Chucky for the tip!  Read More

How To: Change your characters on Minecraft Pocket Edition without Jailbreaking

Adventure Time Minecraft

UPDATE: With iOS 6 Apple has locked down the app directory, and this will no longer work. iExplorer is working on a solution but for now ether stick with iOS 5 or ask Mojang to allow us to import skins. For fans of Minecraft, the Pocket Edition for the iPhone is a mixed blessing. On the one hand you can play your favorite game anywhere you go… on the other, there are a ton... Read More

“Up”/”Birds” double feature poster

up birds mashup poster by Derek Chatwood

Usually when one hears the term “Mashup”, they think of a horrible pop song shoe-horning itself into a classic, well known song to generate quick sales for a talentless new “artist”. Or is that just me? Anyway, MY favorite mashups are the ones some VISUAL artists do for fictional combinations from the film, tv, and comic worlds. Case in point, this awesome... Read More

There are good ideas, there are GREAT ideas, and then there is this

iPad Typewriter

You know how sometimes you’re typing out an email on the iPad and you wish the process was slower and louder? Well, good news! Industrial designer Austin Yang has created the iTypewriter. Unlike other high tech iPad keyboards that are portable and rely on the “fad” of Bluetooth, Yang’s iTypewriter kicks it super old-school, relying on touch-capacitive hammers... Read More

iPad finger painting of Toy Story 3 poster better than the actual movie

Toy Story 3 drawn on iPad

iPad finger artist Kyle Lambert made this amazing video showing his stroke-by-stroke finger painting of the Toy Story 3 poster sing only the Brushes iPad app. I don’t know why I find this type of thing fascinating to watch, but I do. I think it goes back to some early Nickelodeon show I remember watching as a kid where, as a narrator read a story, we would see a line art... Read More

Well, there’s ONE Apple lawsuit Google doesn’t have to worry about

Good news for Google. It looks like Apple will NOT be suing the company for ripping off its easy-to-open packaging. Check out this wonderful compilation of failed Google Nexus 7 unboxing videos, which pretty much redefine the term “First world problems”. When you consider that these people all seem to be reasonably tech-savvy folks, it makes you wonder what injuries... Read More

Behold the YellowJacket, the only iPhone case/battery that not only can add 20 hours of iPhone use to your iPhone, but can also incapacitate that would-be rapist/home invader. That’s right! THIS CASE IS A FRICKIN’ STUN GUN! Sound crazy? Sure. But watch... Read More
